My Mother the Car vs. Small Wonder - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

These are two critically maligned classics that have recently come to Antenna TV after not airing anywhere for a long time. My vote is Small Wonder, while it's nowhere near the level of a Frasier or M*A*S*H, it can be an enjoyable show. My Mother the Car is just ok, Jerry Van Dyke is much better in Coach and The Middle.

MMTC is kind of cute in a nostalgic kitschy way; but Small Wonder had a much better cast and was funnier(IMO)

I guess for me I would take My Mother the Car. In the 60's many tv shows were fantasy driven. Twenty years later seeing a child portrayed as robot or was it vice versa I couldn't take. Also when was Small Wonder on?. Was it in a afternoon or morning show?.
